Fans are just now discovering what Erling Haaland said about Myles Lewis-Skelly during his Premier League debut, and it’s come back to haunt him.
Myles Lewis-Skelly scored for Arsenal in their 5-1 victory over Manchester City on Sunday, just four months after Erling Haaland mocked him during his Premier League debut.
The 18-year-old full-back, who has become a regular in the first team this season, found the net as Arsenal triumphed over Pep Guardiola’s side. It’s been an impressive season for the young defender, who grabbed attention in September when he received a yellow card before even stepping onto the pitch in his league debut.
During that match, Lewis-Skelly’s first Premier League appearance, a heated exchange between his teammate Gabriel and Haaland followed a late equalizer from John Stones. Haaland confronted the teenager, asking “who the f*** are you” before continuing his argument with Jakub Kiwior.
Fast forward four months, and Lewis-Skelly got his payback, celebrating his first Arsenal goal by performing Haaland’s signature meditation move after putting his side 3-1 up. In doing so, he became the youngest player since Wayne Rooney in 2003 to score against the defending champions.
Fans were quick to react on social media, with one saying, “Haaland asked ‘who are you’ to Lewis-Skelly last time, now Myles scores and does his celebration. S***house. I love him.” Another added, “Lewis-Skelly pulling out this celebration after Haaland said that to him at The Etihad? This is the kind of pettiness I can get behind.” Others called it a sign of a future star, with one commenting, “MLS has arrived!!! Cold blooded just like Bukayo.”
